Trees & landscaping

Proposal

1 No. Magnolia (T1) - Reduce height and spread by up to 2m. Reduce eastern aspect back to previous points to gain approx. 1.5m clearance from property. Reduce northern, western and southern aspects by up to 2m to suitable growth points and reshape to keep good form. Light prune on the height of up to 1m to keep natural shape and thin canopy by removing branches under 10mm to allow light and air into crown. Remove crossing and rubbing branches also. To clear branches from property’s roof, footpath and public highway, and minimise leaves and petals falling on neighbours drive, causing a slip hazard. To stop interference with telephone cable that runs through it. To bring it back into a more manageable shape and stop it restricting the light coming into the kitchen and dining room windows.

Site constraints 10

Nutrient neutrality catchment: Solent: Includes Chichester and Langstone Harbours SPA/Ramsar, Solent and Southampton Water SPA/Ramsar, Solent Maritime SAC, Portsmouth Harbour SPA/Ramsar
New homes and overnight accommodation must show nutrient neutrality before approval.
Natural England advice: extra wastewater in these catchments harms protected habitats, so schemes must offset their nutrient load, usually through credits.
Special area of conservation about 119 m away: River Itchen
Work nearby can need a habitats assessment.
Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.
Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
SSSI about 119 m away: Alresford Pond SSSI
Natural England may need consulting, depending on what is proposed.
Sites of special scientific interest are the best wildlife and geological sites in the country. Development likely to harm one is rarely permitted.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 3; Conservation area about 71 m away: Bishopstoke; National infrastructure project about 1850 m away: Hampshire Water Transfer and Water Recycling Project; 1 listed building within 150 m of the postcode pin; Inside the Eastleigh built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 4, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 6 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Planning Inspectorate, the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency (radon, contains BGS materials © UKRI) and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
